Universal has announced a June 4th release date for the above four horror titles on Blu-Ray.
All were released last year in their boxed Universal Classic Monsters Collection, but this marks their debuts as singles. Bonus features, of which there are many, carry over from the DVD releases (below).
Creature from the Black Lagoon (Blu-Ray)
Scientists drug and capture the creature, who becomes enamored with the head scientist's female assistant (Julie Adams). The lonely creature, "a living amphibious missing link," escapes and kidnaps the object of his affection. Chief scientist (Richard Carlson) then launches a crusade to rescue his assistant ans cast the ominous creature back to the depths from where he came.
Well-acted and directed, and with Bud Westmore's brilliantly designed monster, Creature From The Black Lagoon remains an enduring tribute to the imaginative genius of its Hollywood creators.
BONUS FEATURES:

- Back to the Black Lagoon
- Feature Commentary with Film Historian Tom Weaver

- Theatrical Trailer
- 100 Years of Universal: The Lot
Claude Rains delivers a remarkable performance in his screen debut as a mysterious doctor who discovers a serum that makes him invisible. Covered by bandages and dark glasses, Rains arrives at a small English village and attempts to hide his amazing discover. But the same drug which rends him invisible slowly drives him to commit acts of unspeakable terror.
Based on H.G. Wells' classic novel and direct by the master of macabre James Whale, The Invisible Man not only fueled a host of sequels, but features some special effects that are still imitated today.

This spectacular retelling of Gaston Leroux's immortal horror tale stars Claude Rains as the masked phantom of the Paris opera house - a crazed composer who schemes to make a beautiful young soprano (Susanna Foster) the star of the opera company and wreak revenge on those who stole his music.
Nelson Eddy, the heroic baritone, tries to win the affections of Foster as he tracks down the disfigured "monster" who has begun murdering those who resist his mad demands. This lavish production remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time.
